I thought City might come back in for him given all the noise around Ederson…. Newcastle fans will be in bits! Haha!! IMG_5072.jpeg I have been saying this since he arrived. JT has always known where he was going, Newcastle have just been a fly in the ointment, and Ederson was holding up the whole ...

What is it about the coverage you dislike? Where is it being talked about/covered that you feel it shouldn't be? And in terms of being "allowed to mature". What does that even mean, our women's football team has been competing for decades. They made the semi final of the Euros and quarter finals of...

Suppose an element of comparison is inevitable if you watch a lot of the same sport As said it is possible to enjoy both men’s and women’s football or to just enjoy one of these or one more than the other etc…..no wrong answer here ! There’s also nothing wrong at all with the increased attention an...

no issue with inclusivity, but its a spectacle that once the mainstream media decided was worthy of trumpeting, we as a potential audience are expected to elavate it into normality. the reality is it is weak and insipid. free tickets and BBC obsession cant paper over this . It should grow naturally...

I don’t think there is a market on TV, but it needs TV money to grow. It’s a perpetual loop. There isn’t the ritualistic behaviours built into the female psyche yet. Men have a well honed pattern of behaviour towards football. MNF, Saturday lunch times, Super Sundays, Championship and Champions leag...

I think the women’s game as a whole is heading to a bit of a crossroads. It’s getting pushed hard but the interest just doesn’t seem to be following. I also think the recent antics with Villa and Chelsea regarding PSR also make a complete mockery of it. Does anyone think something needs to change t...

We’ve just got a second Eufy C20, the first one is amazing, so we’ve got another for upstairs.

Anyone else got one?

Not one person in that peloton enjoys suffering.

It’s horrible. The mental stress is as much if not more to the physical.

It is a superhuman effort to ride a GT no matter podium on a stage.

Funnily enough I was listening to a podcast today with Greg LeMond who has been the biggest outspoken critic of doping, including being ostracised by the pro cycling community for highlighting his fellow countryman Armstrongs dodgy dealings. He believes the tour is clean now, at least at the top en...

Pleased for you jdr. Having just watched a 6 minute commercial/trailer break followed by 3 minutes of cycling followed by another 4 minutes of crappy low budget commercials I find it barely watchable. If that's the price of it being on terrestrial tv then I'm out. I'll just suck it up and pay next ...

As mentioned by Robbie MacEwan on TNT, what was wrong with Vingegaards bike? He was slithering and sliding on his saddle, making his upper body rock n roll. Nothing like his normal TT position. Strange for a team that usually has everything just pat. He looked like he’d leased-a-bike. Head winds, f...

We will become Man City’s home based development team. Young talent given time and space to develop whilst still under the nose of the coaches and staff.

Helps with FFP and lets them develop in a team in the Premier League or Championship.

I am happy with the arrangement so far.

Cooclaret

Correct. TNT on PPV in the future. The UK has certain events, Cup Final, Wimbledon, etc., that have to be on free to air. I’m surprised the French government hasn’t done similar. ASO milk the tour dry… I am all for firewall cycling. There is so little money in the sport that it’s all siphoned into ...

What’s the best cycling audiobook. I’ve listened to Mark Beaumonts around the world books. Very good

Tyler Hamilton is great

Then David Millar

But I think Watts Occurring is a brilliant podcast and will keep you entertained!

Even as a big fan, it's hard to disagree with that. There are some long periods of nothing much happening.

Read Luke Rowes book, David Millars, and Lances. There’s absolutely loads going on in the peloton and all times.

From a footballing point of view signing Walker is probably a good move, but from a financial point of view, not so sure. Surely we can't pay him anywhere near what he was pulling in at Citeh. To pay him the silly money would upset our salary structure, and pi** off the other players. Also, is Park...

There’s a lot of issues with the club and the land surrounding it that’s affecting the commercial income considerably.

That needs sorting and the club will be on a much better footing.

They play Barrow and then Lancaster on consecutive Tuesday pre season, Lancashire police are going to be busy!

I enjoyed “it’s not about the bike” the Lance Armstrong book, but I read it before the truth came out…. Find it now in “fiction”. Both Armstrong books are top. Then read Tyler Hamiltons and then finish with David Millar. Absolutely brilliant insight into the cycling world as it was! Cycling was abs...

What is it that you're specifically disagreeing with? Youngsters have been following individuals over clubs for a long time, although in the past that would usually translate into permanent fans of the team (George Best mania, for example). Beckham is probably the first example I can think of who h...

You may have to 'move with the times', but have you got any data for your last point?

Correct, he's a business man. He may have developed an affection for Burnley in some way but making money is his ultimate objective.

Shameful? ALK buy Espanyol who have been relegated twice from La Liga in the past five years, similar to us.

That's an absolutely shocking statement CoolClaret. In 2017/18, we finished 7th in the league with tens of millions in the bank and a squad that would finish 10th two seasons later.

If Del Torro or Carapaz could have followed yesterday- or at least chased- when the Yates attack stuck- then they would have done. But they didn’t have the legs through attacking (RC) and keeping pink (delT). No amount of barracking from the team car would have done anything and didn’t do anything....

Cooclaret

And my take was just the opposite; that del Toro and Carapaz too let their teams down. All I can imagine is that after the preceding two days the two of them had discounted Yates as a threat, so were confident that they could play brinkmanship games between themselves and overhaul him when they wan...

He’s definitely lost his Lancashire accent. Too much time spent with the croissant brigade I expect.

Growing up racing with the talent he has, they both have, you spend a lot of time in Europe. Understandable.
